Dispatches #1: The Four Deportations of Jean Marseille
An experienced fixer for journalists covering Haiti, Jean often unexpectedly finds himself on the subject side of stories. After his son was kidnapped and his house taken, Jean decided to move his family out of Port-au-Prince to the Dominican Republic. In the first of our new Dispatches series, Jean tells us the story of this struggle to relocate, another change of country in his search for a better life.
Dispatches #2: If You Don’t Want To Be Punched, Don’t Punch Somebody Else: The Lives of Carole Hinojosa
After three decades unhoused and addicted in Portland, Oregon, Carole Hinojosa now serves the people she used to live among. With fearless candor, Carole narrates her past, including the circumstances that led her to separate from her young daughter. Ten years after a court order that changed her life, Carole walks us through her days—her tireless advocacy on behalf of people whose lives she understands intimately as well as her reunion with her beloved daughter.
The second book in our Dispatches series, If You Don’t Want to Be Punched, Don’t Punch Somebody Else: The Lives of Carole Hinojosa provides a vital, timely, and firsthand look into our nation’s housing and homelessness crisis.
